Tasting Notes
"Though dark roasted malts are typically used in stouts and porters, this whisky proves they have a place in Scotch too. That roastiness translates as a coffee note in the aroma, with a palate of dark chocolate, raisin, and toffee. Sweet notes in the finish are balanced by a robust proof and a hint of espresso."
